Zingiber officinale root oil is an essential oil distilled from ginger root (or rhizome). It is known for its warm, spicy, and energizing scent. Ginger extracts, when taken orally, are a potent phytotherapeutic remedy against nausea and vomiting, safe even for pregnant women suffering from morning sickness.
The main compounds in ginger essential oil are zingerone, shogaols, and gingerols – which all belong to the terpene class of phytochemicals and are responsible for its spicy scent and taste. In skincare, this essential oil is used for its scent and, when applied topically, can increase blood circulation.
As is common for most essential oils, ginger root oil can be a skin sensitizer.
